What a time capsule. Now it's just people spamming soijaks to hurt people they don't like.

I was actually rewatching some of this recently and came to the realization it aged terribly. Good thing April is there to spice it up.

Well, it was a 'Toy of the Week' sales pitch, honestly. It's a horrible show, plot-wise. But I can't re-watch it. I have a teenager's sense of humor, not an 8 year old's.
Don't get me wrong, as a little kid, I liked the show most little kids did

I re watched the whole thing last year after re watching the mid 2000s TMNT show, and then the movie which had them cross over with each other.

It did not hit the same. Felt sad, old and dirty.

Here’s a parody of that…I think?

I can rewatch the live-action movies, even that cheesefest TMNT 3 — we wish we were back to the future. But the cartoon, I can't do right now, anyhow

Nah, Battletoads, Street Sharks, Biker Mice from Mars, all were made in the hopes of capturing that toy sales money. No one thought TMNT would do well... A lot of studios turned the idea down, saying things like, "No one is going to watch a show about kung fu turtles"

I wonder how that crow tasted?

Fun fact about why he live action movies are still watch able today some of the movies where made by golden harvest, who was a movie production house from Hong Kong.

They where responsible for allot of the Jackie Chan movies back then, such as:

Police story,

Project A,

Armor of god

Operation condor,

Rumble int he Bronx

and much more.

Their Movies from back the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s still hold up today, and are a call back to a awesome time in stunts and martial arts!

And I know the first movie, and I'm pretty sure the Secret of the Ooze costumes were handled by Jim Henson's Studios as well. That's why they look great, and, well TMNT 3.... they were better than the TMNT Out of Our Shells tour costumes, anyway.

I mean, of course as a kid I didn't have the analytical capacity to say what I'm going to say now, but the problem is that each turtle is basically a carbon copy of each other, and to compound to the problem, Splinter and Shredder behave like a borderline culturally offensive pastiche of what they are supposed to represent; it's as if the writers saw a bunch of asian movies and slapped everything together fast.

Then again, I didn't grow up with Turtles, so I have no nostalgia for it, probably.

Strangely, I actually enjoyed the likes of Swat Kats and Biker Mice From Mars, even though they ostensibly would serve much of the same purpose.
As for that crow... ah, bitter, very bitter, I'm sure.

Would it be right to argue the same from the Transformers TV show, in that it was a marketing show, and does not hold up well today?

Just finished season 1-3 and some of the stories where awesome, but a lot of the time it turned in to random auto bots advocating for why they are best, feeling like an add to by a toy....

Yeah, it was that '80s stereotype... anyone who was a ninja or from Japan/Asia, etc., was like the old '70s kung fu movies. Badly dubbed with, let's say, a very distinctive way of talking. The Turtles being carbon copies, more or less, they did have different personalities, what little there is of it.

Fair enough about not growing up with them.

Never cared for Street Sharks or BMFM, but I did love Swat Kats. Mind you, I caught all these on reruns, as they aired before I can remember them

As for that crow... ah, bitter, very bitter, I'm sure.

Hope they got a little dipping sauce at least

Oh, absolutely. All these '80s shows were made solely to sell toys. You show me a cartoon from the '80s/'90s without a toy line... hell, even Mummies Alive has a toy line, and I bet 90% of the people here have never heard of it.

Nice and yeah all it was.

In Japan, Transformers had (maybe still has?) Takara's involvement, and they are big when it comes to toys there, so your perception is spot on.

Yeah, it was that '80s stereotype... anyone who was a ninja or from Japan/Asia, etc., was like the old '70s kung fu movies. Badly dubbed with, let's say, a very distinctive way of talking. The Turtles being carbon copies, more or less, they did have different personalities, what little there is of it.

It seems later iterations of the shows went harder in the direction of making the turtles more distinct, I kind of see them in a better light now, for this reason, though of course YMMV, as with everything.

Fair enough about not growing up with them.

Yeah I went from sentai shows straight to anime at a certain point, though I vaguely remember some H/B stuff, mostly flashes.

Never cared for Street Sharks or BMFM, but I did love Swat Kats. Mind you, I caught all these on reruns, as they aired before I can remember them

Yes, I do believe in my case they were reruns as well, but it's mostly a blur and I can't rightly say.

Hope they got a little dipping sauce at least

It's funny how strongly cartoons, toys and junk food (sweets, sugary drinks and such) were once all tied together in a sort of bad triad.

 

[Antilocal123]

All of them.

 

[Zerpina]

All of them.

So, what Anti means is, their favorite cartoon was Rainbow Brite with the Jem and the Holograms crossover
